Abstract
This paper describes Joseph P. Healey Library's LAN developed with existing and new hardware, software and shareware for staff and networking CD-ROMs. This small budget LAN is a model for libraries with limited resources, that must move toward CD-ROM networking, or that plan an enhancement for a library automated system. Some management issues, problems, and implications are discussed.
